Superintendent's Message

Welcome to the website of the Department of Education for the Diocese of Rockville Centre! We pride ourselves on the history of success we have had in educating our young people in the faith and providing them with opportunities that challenge, excite, and inspire them to live the gospel.

Our students experience classes in technology, math, science, collaborative group work, and inquiry models of instruction – all subjects needed for a solid education and all subjects taught through the eyes of faith. Parents are key partners in our mission. Working closely with their schools, parents support and share in the day-to-day activities that help build a strong faith community. Our pastors provide constant and continuous guidance. Their presence in our schools speaks volumes to their dedication to dramatic missionary growth.

Catholic Schools on Long Island are truly communities of faith and learning. They are educational institutions based on the teachings of Christ and also provide a quality education for students who attend them.

Our graduates go on to make their marks on the world in areas of medicine, education, and business and assume leadership positions in a variety of corporations, both large and small. They also contribute to their communities, families, and parishes, applying the skills, both in knowledge and faith learned in our classrooms.

I invite you to visit our schools and see the wonderful and exciting experiences that go on, each and every day. The educational experience obtained in the Catholic Schools of Long Island is an investment in the future of our society and our Church!
